Feedburner and MS Outlook
Sorry, I was tired last night when I posted that and left a bit out. I can get a web-based reader like google reader to work but I wanted to use a local reader like feeddemon. When I select the feeddemon feed from feedburner, Outlook opens and atte…

Url Bar Image?
I've read, on a number of sites, that you can leave the declaration out entirely as long as you stick the favicon.ico (or.gif, .jpg, etc) in the root directory. I've never tested it though. Personally, I stick to .ico format, stick it in …

Shame in templates?
The few templates I've looked at have all been for either WP or osCommerce. I would happily charge a customer to alter a WP theme for them but I would be up front that it was someone else's theme and only charge for my modifications. The o…

Webdesigner or UI Designer
You can easily get by without knowing javascript. However, I frequently find it necessary to make small changes to a .js file. The more you know about it, the easier that will be. It also helps to know a bit about javascript so that you can look at…

How to Learn Photoshop from the Ground Up?
Don't let photoshop intimidate you. It is a huge program with tons of features but you don't need to know them all to be productive. In fact, with just a very few commands you can do a great deal of work. I learned it simply by playing wit…

How to SEO expert
Most SEO "experts" only appear to know "some" SEO, so you may as well grab the title too. :) However, SEO is a much larger field than most people give it credit for. It's more than just throwing on some meta tags and using …

An awsome shortcut
That's pretty cool. For single files, like testing a technique or showing an example with a block and all contained in one file, that is a fantastic method. I'll have to add that. For projects, everything I do anymore is php, if for no o…

Is it time for Access Denied ?
That's always been my view on javascript. Design without it and then add it as "icing on the cake" for those that can see it. I just had a particularly annoying moment finding myself with a very cool javascript solution for a project …

Better way to slice images in PHOTOSHOP
Hey, that's pretty slick. I've been doing it the other way for years. I don't have to slice up images very often but it never occured to me to even question my crop/save/undo method. Fortunately, I've never had an 'accident&…

Advice and Critiques Needed Please...
The layout doesn't hold up at different resolutions. The background is designed for a fixed size so different resolutions give the page an odd look.

Assigning usemap to a css defined background image
Well, a good night's sleep didn't give me any inspiration :( I found a DOM statement that does just what I want but it assigns the usemap to an img by id instead of by name. I have no way of assigning an id to an image defined in this way…

how to make text not visible in a tag
I read an article somewhere, I'm not sure if it was Chris' or another, that looked in depth into google's reaction to the negative indent technique. Currently, although it could change at any time, google does not penalize it's u…

Does anyone have experience selling eDownloads?
Since posting the question I've done more research. The problem described (where users can download the software w/o payout by redirecting their browser) is endemic to all pay systems that do not send a specific response (not just an email) ver…

A Question about Media Temple
The app doesn't require it. It's a security issue that arises from misconfigured servers. Unfortunately, it is very common for smaller hosts to install php this way. Once I figured out what the server setting was that caused the behavior,…

Assigning usemap to a css defined background image
The coords are detailed in an html map tag. I didn't include them because I need to assign the usemap attribute to the image before it can see them. Normally you do a image map like this: That's off the top of my head so the sy…

Centered 2 column layout with fixed width AND percentage wid
The problem with that solution, or any solution that involves min-width/max-width if you want it to work on IE, is that it requires a css expression. A css expression gets evaluated continually, causing unnecessary cpu usage. The problem with expr…

how to make text not visible in a tag
This is what I use for image replacement H1.logo { text-align: center; width: 775px; height: 74px; background: url('images/logo.gif') no-repeat; text-indent: -9999px; } Search engines and text-only browsers see the text but everyone else…

Centered 2 column layout with fixed width AND percentage wid
In essence, what you want is: .columnRight { width: 360px; } .columnLeft { width: 100%-360px; } Obviously, that's not valid but that's what it boils down to. (I wish they'd add that!) The question has come up here and on other foru…

Rotating images from a list
I've been wanting to do that as well. That's a perfect example! But I'm such a noob with js. I can't extract what is necessary to duplicate that. :( I copied those two images to my /images folder so as to keep the test as close…

Templates without Dreamweaver
Use PHP and include the header, footer, sidebar, etc. Even if you don't know anything about PHP, using it just for that sort of thing is trivial. Once you learn a little PHP though, you'll love it and start doing considerable more than j…

Wordpress wont show images
I ran into the same thing. In my stylesheet, I can use url('images/logo.gif') and it displays just fine. However, on any of the pages, if I use it won't display. The reason is that, in the latter case, WP is looking for the image in…
